Dwarf Pluto
Pluto Is Demoted to ‘Dwarf Planet’ !
In the new solar system, there are 8 planets, at least three dwarf planets and tens of thousands of so-called “smaller solar system bodies,” like comets and asteroids.
Criteria to be a Dwarf planet is that it only have to be round.Heez...
According to the new rules a planet meet three criteria:
1) it must orbit the Sun
2) it must be big enough for gravity to squash it into a round ball
3) it must have cleared other things out of the way in its orbital neighborhood
Check what happen...
